Two Types of Metabolism Testing: Resting (RMR) & Exercise (VO2max)

There are 2 types of Metabolism Testing protocols that FRESH! performs for our clients. These are the Resting Metabolism and Exercise Metabolism tests. Each test provides incredibly valuable information, but not everyone needs to do each test. The test(s) that are right for you and the order you perform them in will depend on a number of factors. Our expert team can help you decide on the path that’s best for you.

Here are some of the questions to help you determine which test is right for you:

Do you want to lose weight?

Do you have nutritional challenges to overcome?

Are there lifestyle habits that sabotage your ability to get results?

Do you do regular cardiovascular exercise (or do you want to)?

Are you training for a specific event?

Do you want to experience the benefits of heart rate training?

Answer these questions. The responses will determine the best starting point for you and which tests would be best to perform.

A BRIEF description of each Metabolism Testing Type…

Approximately 70% of the calories burned each day are used during a resting state. The RMR assessment measures your individual resting rate and provides detailed data including.

How many calories you can consume without gaining weight.

What your daily and weekly caloric deficit should be to lose weight.

Your unique personal metabolic requirements.

How many calories from exercise should be included in a balanced weight loss program.

How many calories you are burning from fat compared to carbohydrates.

The RMR assessment also includes a consultation with a FRESH! coach. This consultation helps you better understand the results of your assessment. You are also provided with a detailed report containing all of the information and your coach’s recommendations.

Everyone’s response to exercise is unique. To get the best results for YOU, it is very important to know YOUR unique heart rate zones and correct exercise intensity. This test provides the personalized information needed to improve your fitness and your athletic performance. Estimations and formulas will not help. Our lab quality iWorx metabolism testing system eliminates the guesswork that defeats most diet, exercise and training programs! We can also provide the individualized training programs you need.
